💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this manual page is CGI::A...Passwd(3pm), and it comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — yes, that's the header tea folded in right here. The module itself is CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::HTPasswd, aka the HTPasswd Authentication driver. It's giving authentication, but make it htpasswd. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole setup vibe check:

use base qw(CGI::Application);
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;

__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
  DRIVER => ['HTPasswd', '/etc/apache/htpasswd', '/etc/apache/otherhtpasswd']
);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This Driver lets you authenticate against an htpasswd file. For the tea on the htpasswd file format, go read the documentation for the Apache webserver. 📖

Important, bestie: this driver requires that the Apache::Htpasswd module is installed. No module, no slay. 💀

🎀 METHODS 🎀

verify_credentials

This method will test the provided credentials against the htpasswd file(s) defined in the DRIVER config. It's giving “check the password against the list,” periodt. 🔥
